My week

Not much has really happened this past week (I say that a lot). Thursday was a 1-day "rake race" warm up at CelebPoker where they gave 1000 EUR to whoever contributed the most rake in the 24h period. I told them from the get-go that I was gonna ship it and I obv came through with my promise, playing 10k hands for just under 10 hours and raking around 1800 EUR in the process. They're repeating it this Wednesday so I'm gonna have to ship that one, too.

The real rake race runs from September 1-14 and BossMedia is bringing out the big guns. They've dedicated 75000 EUR as the prize pool, where the winner gets 25000 EUR. That's a hefty chunk of money for just two weeks of work, so I've set the goal of taking it down. Unfortunately I'm going to have to miss EPT Barcelona for it, but it's a sacrifice I have to make. My EV in the rake race (with winnings, rakeback and rake race prize money) is much higher than at some live donkament anyway, just it sucks because Barcelona is always a great time.

Other than that, Eric Clapton was in town and his concert was sick. The things he does on the guitar are absolutely amazing. Also saw Batman last night and can definitely recommend it. Mad props to Heath Ledger for his performance of The Joker. Such a shame than an actor so talented died so young. I wish I had the motivation to get into acting again (I was in a movie once, IMDB proof, BRAG) but my height is too big of an issue for most film roles. I really enjoy acting and have toyed with the idea of moving to California for 6 months or so to attend a theater acting school. Who knows, I may just do that some day.

Tomorrow night at 21:00 (Monday the 25th) is the private Poker-Tester tournament ($10+1) at FTP. The winner gets an Ergorest as an added bonus, so it's definitely worth it :) Come and beat me, I dare you!
